Zimmerman, who had been fired from her job as a pageant coordinator for making racist remarks onBig Brother last season, has released nude photos in the hopes of booking Playboy, TMZ reported.

The 33-year-old reality TV star is trying to show she can pull it off by posing completely naked while reading Playboy in one picture and then wearing black lingerie while standing on dozens of Playboy magazine issues in another image.

Although Zimmerman's friends apparently have little confidence in her modeling ability, that's not stopping her.

"People tell me I'm too old to do a lot of things... I'm a huge fan of Playboy and a collector. So I took these pictures on my own to show people you can do anything no matter what age," Zimmerman told TMZ.
